AR Rahman shocked his fans after announcing his divorce from Saira Banu. Soon after, his bassist Mohini Dey also announced separation from her husband. This led to their false link-up rumours and Mohini has finally broken her silence on it. She said that AR Rahman is like a father to her and she called the rumours ‘baseless’.
She wrote, “It is utterly unbelievable to see the amount of misinformation and baseless assumptions/claims against me & @arrahman It feels criminal that the media has vulgarised the two events. I honour my times as a kid working with @arrahman throughout my 8.5 years of working with him for his movies, tours, etc. Its disheartening to see that people have no respect, sympathy or empathy towards emotional matters like this.”
She added, “It saddens me to see people’s state of mind. @arrahman is a legend and he is just like father to me! I have many role models & father figures in life that have played vital roles in my career and upbringing. To name a few- My dad who taught me everything music (who I lost a year ago) and then @ranjitbarot1 who introduced me to the industry, @louizbanksofficial who shaped me & @arrahman who gave me the freedom to shine in his shows and his musical arrangements during recording sessions. I cherish and treasure that and will always do! Media/Paps do not understand the affect it has on people’s minds and lives. Be sensitive. I dont owe anyone any explainations but also, I dont want this to brew and interupt my day so, Kindly stop with the false claims & Respect our privacy. Love, Mo.” Meanwhile, while announcing divorce, AR Rahman earlier penned an emotional note on X (formerly Twitter), whereas, his children asked for privacy in the difficult times. He wrote on X, “We had hoped to reach the grand thirty, but all things, it seems, carry an unseen end. Even the throne of God might tremble at the weight of broken hearts. Yet, in this shattering, we seek meaning, though the pieces may not find their place again. To our friends, thank you for your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we walk through this fragile chapter.”
